my guess would be that those triangular objects with stocks on top are supposed to be carrots -- as in making a joke about the moai being from "easter island".

I did, but I'm not sure the base is original. The ceramic is a little different and the shakers don't fit that cleanly into their spaces. Also, the design is slightly confusing, with what looks like chili peppers in the middle.

Added a few sets to my collection recently. These Trader Vic's ones i picked up at an antique store in Bisbee, Arizona on my recent trip to the U.S.

And i found two sets this weekend at an antique store here back at home in Melbourne. First these ceramic Beenleigh Rum barrels.

And i also found these crude wooden carved ones. The pair on the right i found a little while ago but i never posted any pictures of. Apparently there's a picture of some similar in the new Tiki Pop book by Sven. Mines on order and should arrive soon so i look forward to seeing the picture in it.
